GwenThat one message I was eager to see from The Lily Guy showed up this morning at school. I waited for a while last night for his message, but nothing came. I couldn't believe I would finally be meeting the guy who had put me and Jasper in suspense for days. These were the words he texted to me. "Let's meet at the schoolyard by ten. I'll call you."I already know this much—that he's from my school, because of the last note he stuck up to my locker. I almost typed back that we had classes by ten. But I didn't. Missing the opportunity of knowing who this guy is wasn't what I wanted. I agreed to meet at the schoolyard at that time. When I got to the schoolyard. I found no one. I told myself to be a little patient. He called me to inform me that he was on his way. That was the first time that we would speak over the phone. It's all been text, text, text and nothing else. But during the call, I couldn't shake the feeling that the voice sounded familiar. I waited for two more minut
JasperI could do nothing but walk away. At first, I thought I would beat Jasper up when I got hold of him and wouldn't stop beating him until he was unrecognizable. But when I finally grabbed him, I couldn't put a finger on him. It was hard for me. He's my best friend. We've been together since we were very little. How could he toss our friendship away and deceive me? The pain caused by his betrayal immobilized my mind and heart but I had to stay strong. I wouldn't show him this broken side of me. He would think he had won. Never would I believe in my wildest dreams that Reginald would turn out to be the one sending Gwen those messages. He even dared to reveal what I told him about my emotions related to her. He's a fucking snitch! Instead of dropping Gwen at home, I brought her home with me. She said we needed to discuss what step we would take. "What do we do now?" Gwen asked. I looked at her. This was a question I couldn't answer. And I didn't want to lie. It would be a bad
GwenWhat Reginald had done was to complicate things for us. Probably if he wasn't so eager to toss me away in front of everyone and insult me that night, then maybe I would have considered. And there was a very slim likelihood that it's what I would have done. I have moved on. I'd rather be in a fake relationship with Jasper but have genuine feelings than be in a real relationship with Reginald and not go for what my heart wants. I'm glad Reginald never claimed me back then. If he did I wouldn't have gone through the beautiful things I've gone through. I discovered this side of me because of Jasper. My desire to be next to Jasper each day became my reality. A message popped up on my screen "I'm sorry, Gwen. Please come back to me." It's from Reginald. I ignored him. This should be the 100th message he's sent. A day has passed and he's didn't try to approach me in school. He wouldn't try it because of Jasper. But his incessant calls and messages were driving me insane. I continue
GwenFrank had been busy in the supplies room so we had to wait. His eyes darted towards us after he shut the door behind him. "Gwen!" His eyes narrowed. I get that he wasn't expecting to see someone like me here again if what Mr Richard said is true.I put on a fake smile. "Hi, Frank.""What are you doing here?" His eyes tilted towards Collins. "Are you here to see Collins?""Yeah, I came to say hi to him. It's been a while and so I decided to drop by to say hello.""That's kind of you. How's Jasper doing?""He's great.""My regards please.""I'll inform him. Also, can you give me a few minutes of your time? I need to ask you a few questions?"He nodded. "Go ahead?""Why did you guys send me a rejection mail? I was doing alright here. Even you at one time commended my efforts.""It was the committee's decision. I had little or no say in it," Frank said politely."But why was I told I was rejected because a certain someone told them I had gotten someplace else?" Frank's eyes flickere
JasperI'm afraid and my wolf feels insecure. To me, it's like falling down a big black hole, with no help in sight. You know that dreadful feeling you get when there's someone who is after what you desire, but shows some amount of fear because he doesn't know what you have up your sleeves and what you might do if you find out. He treads cautiously, secretly carrying out his plans until his goal is achieved and you are made to look like a fool. That's how I feel but what scares me more is that Reginald isn't even treading cautiously or doing anything secretly. He didn't care. He's been open and direct with what he wants from me. All he wants is Gwen. She says he has constantly been flooding her phone with calls and messages. I told her to Ignore him. I was holding myself back. I didn't want to fight Reginald with the Lunar Convergence around the corner. Just like Gwen said, it wouldn't make sense that I beat up a guy, in this case, my best friend and then end our relationship on t
JasperShe wants me to stay away from her. The look in her eyes said it all. She hates me, and I feel miserable recalling how she cried and punched me. I hurt her, I know.I could not make it to the hunting ground. I lost all desire to go outside. I resorted to my bed, just like I had been doing since Reginald chose to make an enemy out of me. He's succeeded in pulling Gwen and me apart. Mother is concerned that I locked the room without allowing her in. The last thing I need right now is my mother's depressing talk about how everything is going to be alright and how you get to live longer when you just let things be. Everything is not going to be alright. I can't keep deceiving myself. It'll get worse. I did something forbidden, and now I'm left to dance to the tune of the music. I feel the Moon goddess is already punishing me. I was a fool to think that I could fake a mate bond with Gwen until the end without being left unscathed by the sin we've committed. I used to see pack com
Gwen I had a bath and came down for dinner. Zara was home with us. Mother invited her for dinner. I've been down because of the fight I had with Jasper and didn't have an appetite for food. I had to come down to enjoy the moment with my family. Jasper isn't worth locking myself in my room and crying a long time for. At school today I stayed in the classroom throughout because I didn't want to see him. I don't think I can heal from this fast. How can someone I love manipulate me like this? Reginald is a devil but I don't care because he's not the one I love and care about. Jasper was the one who had my heart but he showed me how foolish I am. "Sweetheart, why are you playing with your food?" Zara asked. "Are you okay?"I forced a smile. "I'm fine.""No, she's not. Don't believe her," Mother said. "She's been like this since she fought with Jasper. We don't know what their fight is about.""Huh, mates' fight." Zara smiled cutely and winked. "It happens. You'll feel awful about you
Jasper "Alpha Roderick, Your son, Jasper has to be taken in." Sid marched through the front door with a couple of his men. "A report came to us with enough evidence that he and Gwen committed a crime, a violation of social norms within our community. They are said to be fake mates."Father and Mother exchanged glances and turned to look at me, their eyes narrowed in disbelief. My father asked, "Jasper what's going on here? Do you know anything about what they are talking about?" "It's true... I forged a fake mate bond with Gwen.." Mother gasped. "What have you done?""I'm sorry, "I whispered. "I…I"Before I could say another word, my father slapped me across my face. "Take him away," he ordered, disappointment written all over his face. Mother nearly collapsed, but father was quick to hold her."Sid and his men dragged me away and put me into the back of a black van. It was so dark when the door to the van closed. I could feel the presence of other people in here from the body he
